Another method that wasn't mentioned, which helps take the logic
needed to parse parameters in the more 'user-friendly' way is to
set up apache to treat a file as a directory so you could have:

  http://domain.com/user/first.last.html

The 'user' is actually a file that is a php script that reads data
from $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and parses it as needed.

You just need to setup apache using: 

  <Files user>                                                                  
             
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php                                          
                
  </Files>  

and make a php script called user like:

  <?php
    var_dump($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])'
  ?>

I prefer this method cause it removes any sort of programming logic
from apache, so if I decide, that well, i want to allow just
lastname.html, i only have one place to worry about the logic.
